Jess is a legend who has been selling off a lot of his own collection and prototypes recently.

He'll remain a legendary figure, I'll wager. R.I.P., Jess!

You hadda mention that, hey???

I've been looking for a nice B-15 or B-18 for yonks now. These were working amps so most are beat, and nice ones that were overpriced will be even more so, now...
